“Betrayal”

In "Betrayal," the latest chapter of Alpha Flight's ongoing struggle takes a shocking turn when the team is ambushed at the Edmonton Mall by Omega Flight. With Shaman, Aurora, and Box racing to their aid and Snowbird leaving Doug behind to join the fight, the remaining members face a devastating revelation: Guardian is not who they thought. As the impostor steals Shaman's medicine pouch and unleashes chaotic magical forces, Talisman fights to contain the resulting madness—only to be pulled into the pouch herself. Written and illustrated by John Byrne, with cover art by Byrne, this pivotal 1985 issue delivers high stakes and emotional weight in a story that redefines loyalty and trust.
